Re: Overdrive downshift,, can it be delayed???
Grant, you're talking about holding the 3-4 upshift to a higher speed, I think. Lee, you're hoping for 4th/OD to stay engaged at a lower speed w/o it downshifting to 3rd (1:1), correct? Mine does it too; it kicks down to 3rd if I have my 4-5000# tool trailer attached at just under 70mph, where it howls at 3000+rpm, over the top of the hill or overpass, and then takes its gay old time upshifting back to 4th... This is annoying. I'd rather have it work harder at 2100rpm than scream at 3000 (isn't there more torque at 2100 than 3000 anyhow, or are talking the old hp vs tq dilemma?) Any comments / suggestions?
